	Jack London is a classic author who writes both novels and short stories. His adventurous style of writing showed in the three stories I read. The Mexican, The White Silence, and In A Far Country were all powerful stories that best displayed Jack London and his love for writing. The Mexican is a classic short story that has a very strong character. River is a man on a mission, trying to help his country during troubled times. His willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done is what makes this story so interesting. Unlike the usual London story, The Mexican takes place in the southwest, where the Hispanic culture is beginning to grow. Rivera wants to fight for his country and will do whatever it takes to do so. This story has a great ending and that's why it was the favorite of the 3 that I read. Human nature is best displayed in London's In A Far Country. A man who is sick of his everyday life decides it is time for him to leave the real world and travel down a river in up state New York. With the determination and the company of other travelers, Percy Cuthfert sets out on a journey that he would never forget. "Cabin Fever" is a major factor as two men decide that they do not want to travel any longer with the group and they ant to stay in a cabin in the middle of the woods. In A Far Country is a classic Jack London story because it shows his love for the outdoors and how it is more than just trees and rivers, it has the power to control your mind. This story is definitely worth reading if you are into traveling or hiking through the woods of the North East. The White Silence was my least favorite of the three stories I read but it was very well written and had and alright plot. It lacked a few things, mainly a better description of the main idea of the story. I thought that the story had strong character descriptions and displayed jack London's style of writing very well. The title, The White Silence fit the story perfectly and gave a good description of what the weather can be like while traveling on dog sleds. Overall I thought the setting was clearly described and the plot was not to hard to follow, but this was the least favorite of the three stories that I read because it wasn't long enough and did not go into detail to well. Jack London will always be recognized for his adventurous style of writing and his love for the outdoors. In each of these stories, London showed his best work and his way of looking at life. These stories are all worth reading along with other classic London stories. This was the first time I had ever read any of Jack's work and I enjoyed it and plan on reading more.
